LocateInt Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 We are relooking into the case of ‘Brian Wallace’, who was fatally struck by a vehicle in London in January 2015 again - he told his London friends he had a link to the Sheffield area, and a family / children he had lost contact with – can you help trace his family or friends? He was white, about 172cm (5ft 7ins) tall, and aged between about 50 and 70. He had grey hair and a moustache. Original reports in 2015 revealed that the man had a Northern accent, and that he told locals he had family in the Sheffield area. It is also suggested that he mentioned children with whom he had lost touch. At the time of his death, no identifying documents were found on his person, and the only numbers on his phone were for work contacts. Police believe he was living near the scene of the collision under the name of ‘Brian Wallace’ and had worked as a local builder for many years. After our flyering appeal in London last week, we met some men from Sheffield who recommended we repost the appeal on this forum. Can anyone on this forum help us, or share it with your friends and family, in the hope we can find answers? If you have any information, you can submit it anonymously or with your name, here: https://locate.international/brian-wallace-appeal/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
